Updated flash-player-plugin packages fix security vulnerabilities

Adobe Flash Player 24.0.0.194 contains fixes to critical security vulnerabilities found in earlier versions that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

Adobe is aware of a report that an exploit for CVE-2016-7892 exists in the wild, and is being used in limited, targeted attacks against users running Internet Explorer (32-bit) on Windows.

This update resolves security bypass vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-7890, CVE-2017-2938).

This update resolves use-after-free vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2016-7872, CVE-2016-7877, CVE-2016-7878, CVE-2016-7879, CVE-2016-7880, CVE-2016-7881, CVE-2016-7892, CVE-2017-2932, CVE-2017-2936, CVE-2017-2937).

This update resolves buffer overflow vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2016-7867, CVE-2016-7868, CVE-2016-7869, CVE-2016-7870, CVE-2017-2927, CVE-2017-2933, CVE-2017-2934, CVE-2017-2935).

This update resolves memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2016-7871, CVE-2016-7873, CVE-2016-7874, CVE-2016-7875, CVE-2016-7876, CVE-2017-2925, CVE-2017-2926, CVE-2017-2928, CVE-2017-2930, CVE-2017-2931).

Note that Adobe has dropped Adobe Access DRM support from all their Linux releases since their 11.2 release series (which no longer gets security updates), so any Flash content protected with Adobe Access will no longer work.
